Who it’s for

University students who are building companies, nonprofits, or creative projects — especially international students navigating a new country while they build.

What to expect

Biweekly build nights, demo days at the end of each term, a visa-and-startups resource library, and an exchange program that connects chapters in London, Lagos, and Singapore.

Biweekly in-person · 120+ members · Founded Jan 15, 2025

The story

Global Student Builders began at a London university in early 2025, when Daniel Okafor noticed international students building startups in isolation. The community now connects student builders across campuses in the UK and abroad.
